Build to Minister™   10% down, 90% financing, and no payment during construction. Are you renting space from another church, meeting in a hotel, storefront or warehouse? Do you need your own building where you can grow and do ministry? The Build to Minister™ program provides a complete solution for churches that need to build and have the financial ability to handle a monthly payment, but cannot get traditional funding.         Bottom-line: Build to Minister™ allows your church to get the building you need now.

How it Works    The Arks Build to Minister™ program is a turn key, design/build service that includes financing.  Your building is designed and built and your project is managed by an experienced team that specializes in working with churches and other Christian organizations.  The interest only 3 year bridge financing has a low down payment and equity requirements which allows you to qualify for a larger loan to build a larger facility.     The BENEFITS include: Turn key design/build services with a fixed price. Lenient approval requirements.  Your church will qualify for 25-35% more financing than from most lenders and therefore can build more building.     Very low downpayment/equity requirements.  As low as 10%, compared to 20-30% for most lenders.   No payments during construction.       Get into a building NOW, rather than later, which allows for accelerated growth.    Permanent financing for 50% of the project procured before project begins.  Attractive rates from preferred lenders for the maximum amount the church can qualify for.   Interest only loan for up to 40% of the project for the remainder.   Arks provides or assists with all services needed for a successful project.     This includes feasibility studies, financing, financial planning, capital campaign (if appropriate), leadership training, audits, professional oversight of the project and lots more.  To learn more about this service and the qualifications, please click on the “Learn More” button.
